I was looking at pictures on photobucket, and came across what looked like an album of nice looking gals in all ages. I opened one of them that led me to this sight.I just can't seem to find MS right and I am tired of MS right now so, Maybe I should meet a eastern European girl to love?

    Some of the ladies are cute. Some aren't. But, that's not what you're asking (I think).

    While I don't doubt that some people have an honest, successful relationship utilizing the "mail order" methodology, I would go out on a limb and state that the chances are slim and remote.

    Most likely, you have women who are desperate to leave their current situation and are willing to do pretty much anything to escape. That's not how you build a loving, stable relationship. That's a nightmare waiting to happen.

    I agree - BUY AMERICAN.

    Speaking as a woman of first generation Eastern European decent, you could do worse...[:D]

    I suggest looking for a local gal, though.

    Get yourself an Asian wife, they are the best! I met my wife while she was here on a tour visiting Yellowstone, we exchanged e-mails and one thing led to another, now we are very happily married. She is from Nanning, China. She has a friend, about 44 years old, very attractive, looking for a husband.

    Oh NO!!![:0] Maybe you've had good luck with yours, but I've seen tons of Asian wives reek literal hell on thier husbands[:(!]. They are QUICK to anger and very slow to cool down. And when angry[:(!], they commit assaults[B)] on the man and cause him many problems.[:(]

    Do what you want, but I'd die single before being with an Asian woman. [;)]

    I must have really lucked out, we have been together five years and she is the most wonderful woman I have ever known! I guess you can't really generalize about any race of people, good and bad in all groups.

    I have to go along with Chris8161. I worked with a number of Filipino women who were 'imports'. All had been dedicated to their marriages over long periods. All were work-oriented, not seeking a free ride. One of them kept trying to hook me up with her cousin, who was still living in the Phillipines, whose photo showed a tall and attractive woman. I was getting weak, having known the others for years and being aware of their real respectable family orientation.

    Had that happened 20 years sooner, I would have done it.

    Watch the Russians, some are sincere, but I've heard that many are just after the citizenship that goes with marriage, and they are not particular about who they initially get it from. It's a shark tank out there, as usual.

    Any kids?
    I MAY be in the market before too long.[:D]
    Where is she,......China, or here?

    I have never thought of doing this but from what I have heard and seen it would be an Asian IMHO.

    They may start out OK but it doesn't take long for them to become Americanized. (Mine is from Honduras so ask me how I know.)

    I work with a guy that has done this 2-3 times. Never worked out. Gave 1/2 of everything away each time. He is at it again. I'm trying to beat one word into his head - "anti-nupt". B.T.W., "pre-nupt" is a common but legally incorrect term. Don't even ask me how I know!
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Sorry to say I don't do the asian persuasion (or black, hispanic), usually I only like blond and blue eyed but black hair with blue eyes is hot. taller, slender (full figures are for my bank account)

    1) nothing wrong with full figures (within reason). Hottest g.f. I had was a 2nd gen. Polish girl. chubby but very pretty, kinky as all hell. taught me A LOT.

    2) you're never going to get "Ms. Right", you'll have to settle for "Ms. Close".

    3) unless you are a total hobo, alchie, druggie, or Unabobmer type, there has to be SOMEONE local who would fit your needs.

    4) try match.com or yahoo personals,,,can't see the logic of spening big $$$ for a mail order forienger.

    A lawyer friend of mine has represented a couple of men in divorces from these 'mail order brides.'

    Seems like they have a scam going on to get and stay in the USA.

    They allege spousal abuse as the reason for the marriage breakup. If that is granted as the reason for the divorce, they can't be deported.

    They get 1/2 his stuff and get to stay here too.

    Ain't AMERIKA wonderful??????

    Ex-wife's cousin got him a REALLY pretty little Russian gal. Stayed with him 5 years, long enough to apply for citizenship, then gone.

    Gotta agree with those who say you should run from Russian women like the hounds of Hell are snapping at your feet. I have seen one good Russian woman in this country married to an American man. All the others have been disasters. Thanks be to God that I have that one good Russian woman. (not mail order) Difference may be simply that she is very religous. I got a great wife, but both of us work very hard at being good for the other one. 11+ years. But I was lucky.

    Thats funny[:D] but smart[;)]
    I have heard of guys making like 6 trips to the Ukrain to meet potential mates then getting one home having her turn into bride of dracula's savings and loan. They suck the money out of bank accounts then head for the divorce lawyer (also a russian) They have protection the whole time they are here. Just one phone call away if they get into trouble. Russian MOB types who put the fear of god into the new groom.
    I wonder if the women in Argentina are hot and looking for a husband?

    Oh I gotta tell you, I kissed the new girl for the first time tonight...she might work out as my next ex, very well. I told her "I spend 3 months a year doing nothing but hunting", she said "I like a man who hunts". I said "I spend the rest of my time thinking about hunting"...she said "I like a man who thinks". I said "I don't waste money on clothes and jewlery", she said "I have a job so I can clothe myself and I have all the jewelry I need."
    Yep, she seems like a winner[:D]

    OK about internet wives ...The big scam is for these ladies to entice you to sponsor them to come over to marry you. When you do that you tell the U.S. govt. that YOU will take care of them financially NOT MATTER WHAT! The U.S. Govt. doesn't want to have to take care of your EX-love interest! So they make you libel for it! AND all the gal has to do is claim sexual harassment and then the U.S.Govt. WON'T ship them back, and they can stay in the U.S. on your meal ticket!
    Now there are some "good" ones out there, but I'd suggest the test of "time" to determent which ones there are. And if your 50 and are gunning for some babe in her 20's and she's telling you she can't live without you ...Brother you better think with the "other head" ...and walk away!!!
